Solution

The correct option is A Ribose
ATP: Adenosine tri phosphate is the energy currency of the cell. Chemically ATP has 3 photosphate molecules along with a nitrogenous compound called adenine and a pentose sugar called ribose. When energy is required by the cell, the phosphate bond breaks releasing energy.
